Folks, just a heads up, I’ve closed new verification sign ups on Gaza Verified for about two weeks.

  • Folks, just a heads up, I’ve closed new verification sign ups on Gaza Verified for about two weeks.

    We will restart scheduling folks for calls on November 14th with calls to resume on November 17th.

    We’ve taken this decision to allow @joynewacc (who, as you know, is herself being forced to endure Israel’s genocide in Gaza) and me time to tend to the people and things we’ve both been neglecting in the past three months as we’ve rushed from one thing to another with Gaza Verified (setting up the site, the emergency campaign, the site redesign/automatic scheduling system, and verifying and interacting on a daily basis with 60 families to help boost their voices and protect their accounts on the Fediverse as well as provide them with technical support, etc., when we can).

    We’re both on the verge of burnout and need this time to recharge so we can keep on helping.

    We are also very lucky to have @casey and @aseelfromgz joining our team to help us out going forward. (Welcome to the team, both!)

    I will personally be taking this time both to return to working on Kitten (which powers Gaza Verified) and the Small Web (which I need to launch next year) as well as improving the Gaza Verified web site to enable you to donate to their fundraisers without drowning in a sea of endless almost-identical aid request messages, enable us to work better as a team, and to reduce the load on any one person going forward.

    We’ve rescheduled all existing calls that we were not able to take for technical or other reasons (sometimes people just can’t make it/their Internet goes down/there is an emergency, etc.) for today and tomorrow and, once these seven calls are done, there will be no more for two weeks.

    I also want to take this chance to reiterate that just because we have not talked to someone from Gaza at Gaza Verified, it does not mean that they are a scammer. It just means we haven’t had a chance to talk to them yet. Please remember that Gaza Verified exists to protect our friends in Gaza from scammers on Mastodon and that we’ve not had one person who has shown up for an interview not turn out to be a Palestinian from Gaza.

    If you want to help, please take a moment to follow the accounts of our existing members and contribute to their fundraisers if you can. Or just send them a few words of support. And share their posts.

    And please let our friends and families in Gaza know that Mastodon and the fediverse is a welcoming and safe space for them.

    Thank you!

  • For a long time I wanted to try and make some blinking lights.

    "What's so special about that?" I hear you say. Well, you see - real server racks or nuclear power plant control consoles don't blink completely randomly. There's intricate relationships between individual lights, rows of lights, entire racks... and the time factor.

    I have created a texture storing 256 different patters. Special UV layout + vertex colors + of course a special shader and we can have this:

  • @grabbi_it tutti i discorsi moralistici sono capziosi, perché partono dalle intime convinzioni di chi giudica e le applicano a chi è giudicato. Io ad esempio non vedo ad esempio un "chiaro beneficio" nel lasciare alle aziende e alle masse di sprovveduti l'utilizzo di tecnologie che non puoi cancellare dall'esistenza umana, preferisco gli utilizzi liberi e consapevoli orientati al bene comune. Ma non pretendo che la mia convizione sia obbligatoria per altri e non la uso come metro di giudizio.

  • Reading the World’s Smallest Hard Drive

    You have a tiny twenty-year-old hard drive with a weird interface. How do you read it? If you’re [Will Whang], by reverse engineering, and building an interface board.

    In many of our portable, mobile, and desktop computers, we’re used to solid-state storage. It’s fast and low power, and current supply-chain price hikes notwithstanding, affordable in the grand scheme of things. It wasn’t always this way though, a couple of decades ago a large flash drive was prohibitively expensive. Hard drive manufacturers did their best to fill the gap with tiny spinning-rust storage devices which led to the smallest of them all: the Toshiba MK4001MTD. It crammed 4 GB onto a 0.85″ platter, and could be found in a few devices such as high-end Nokia phones.
    Breaking out the Nokia’s hard drive interface.
    The drive’s connector is a pattern of pads on a flexible PCB, one he couldn’t help noticing had a striking resemblance to an obscure SD card variant. Hooking it up to an SD reader didn’t work unfortunately, so a battered Nokia was called into service. It was found to be using something electrically similar to the SD cards, but with the ATA protocol familiar from the world of full-size hard drives.

    The interface uses the PIO capability of the RP2040, and the board makes a tidy peripheral in itself. We’re guessing not many of you have one of these drives, but perhaps if you do, those early 2000s phone pics aren’t lost for good after all.

    These drives are rare enough that this is the first time we’ve featured one here at Hackaday, but we’ve certainly ventured into hard drive technology before.
